Hello,
Is there anyone in Caithness who fixes computers? I find some details of 'computafix' on the net, but get different addresses and don't know if they're still working.
Our desktop has not been used for a long time (about 20 months) and now it doesn't work. It seems to power up but the monitor gets no signal.
It powers up as soon as I switch on the electricity supply (without using the on/off button), and there's no way to turn it off again (holding the on/off button doesn't work, neither does the restart button). Don't know if it boots (I get one beep and some noise), probably not, fans are working.
I tried putting the memory into the other slot, changed the CMOS battery, but this didn't help.
Either there's a problem with the power supply, or with the memory, or with the motherboard :roll: don't know but need someone to check it out.
Thanks.
